A special NLM Office Hours Listening Session, focused specifically on Medical Subject Headings (MeSH) terms related to population groups will be held from 2 PM to 3 PM ET on Thursday, June 30. Dianne Babski (NLM Associate Director, Library Operations) will briefly discuss the process of developing and updating the MeSH vocabulary, as well as upcoming adjustments NLM is pursuing, in line with the NIH UNITE initiative to end structural racism and promote racial equity and inclusion at NIH and within the larger biomedical research enterprise.
